2.

Temporarily position the air source kit in the location

 

where it will be mounted.

-inch 

O

.D. air line 

to

 the 1/2-inch compression

 

fitting and make your air line

 

connection. Tighten

 

compression fitting nut securely

 

using a wrench.

5.

Connect ground (Black) wire to a clean ground,

(preferably a negative post of battery) and secure with

 

proper hardware

.

6.

Connect positive (Red) lead wire from pre-installed

 

pressure switch to a fuse holder (25-amp minimum).

7.

Once the kit is properly fused as close as possible to

 

the

 

power source, connect and test compressor system

 

by

 

running the compressor for a short time to build up

 

pressure in your air tank.

8.

 Once air pressure reaches preset cut out pressure of

 

your pressure switch (1

1

0 PSI cut-on, 145 PSI cut-off),

 

the compressor will shut off automatically.   Inspect all air

 

line connections for leaks with soap and water solution.

 

If

 

a leak is detected, the air line may not be cut squarely

 

or

 

pushed all the way in.  Tighten connections if needed.
